Track trencher attachment

Designed for use in wind energy applications, the CL80 cable layer attachment sorts, configures, and feeds three cables, one ground wire, one conduit with fiber-optic cable, and one tracer tape in a specified configuration into the trench — all in one pass. A series of rollers then guides the cables over the machine and feeds them into a cable box, where they are sorted in the appropriate configuration.

Excavators

The E32 and E35 M-Series of excavators fall into the 3-ton to 4-ton weight class. According to the company, the machine's enhanced hydraulic system increases the arm breakout force by 10% over previous models. A conventional Tail Swing excavator, the E32 features a re-engineered house that reduces the overhang by 45% compared to those of comparable size. The E35 is a Zero Tail Swing excavator designed for work on space-constrained job sites. Both models use an X-frame undercarriage that features increased ground clearance and enables greater shedding of debris for cleanup.
